The HV said that things like toast is OK - but it seems a bit too hard for a bubs with no teeth

What finger foods do you give your 7 month old? Thanks in advance. x

my boys had toast about that age, as long as its cooked only lightly browned they suck on it and it goes all mushy and soft so they are fine, just always supervise in case they do gagg on it.

maybe bits of banana chopped up in grabbable size peices to such and chew on.

Evan's first and favourite finger food was toast, you cold also try bananas cut up into small ish pieces as they mush up quite well xx

toast is fine hun - butter softens it and thomas still gums it to death but can eat a whole slice of it! hes only just got his first tooth lol!
i also give things like rusks, biscotti, organix snacks (carrot sticks, sweetcorn rings), the odd bicciy wont hurt

Id watch with biscotti as it tends to break off really easily, rather than melt like its supposed to Jasmine has chocked really badly on this to the point where Ive had to slap her back! Shes only just started having them again. x

That was the other thing, do you offer the toast dry or do you put anything on it? Divvy mum alert

thomas has been having them since 4 months old hun - but only when im sitting with him does he have them but i dont have the heinz ones - my nan buys them from italians shops for me and they are actually softer and melt better than the ones from heinz
